Repetitive
I had fond memories of an abridged version of this book as a child, however reading the whole thing now has left me a little disappointed. Its a little too repetitive and slightly straightforward in its plot.
The characters have no shades of gray which may be understandable since this is primarily a Children's classic. However if you're an adult trying to rekindle an old flame read another one, this may not suit your current tastes.

A decent read
Good book but about 3/4 through it got tedious with all the detail of the family's building efforts. Overall, it was good reading.
